Back to the season of Goodwill
and he
quickly looks in the kitchen drawer
and pulls out a happiness pill,

suspended in animation
still at Waterloo station
waiting for a late train.

some cover the cracks with 'smack'
some use lines of *******,
the happiness pill works wonders
and cures all kinds of pain,
but
I used up all my medications
no more prescriptions for me
I'm
settling now for a digestive
and
a streaming hot beaker of tea.
